The standardized gantry systems of the LMG2A series are systems with one-sided supporting guide rail. The type LMG2A-C is equipped with coreless linear motors. The type LMG2A-S is driven by iron-core linear motors. Both builds pair fast acceleration with a rigid aluminum bridge and simple assembly, holding orthogonality of ±5 arc-sec and repeatability of ±0.003/0.004 mm.

  • ±5 arc-sec

    Orthogonality between the gantry axes

  • ±3 µm

    Repeatability at 200 and 300 mm strokes

  • ±9 µm

    Absolute accuracy after error mapping, shortest strokes

Applications

  • Optical detection and inspection
  • Industrial automation equipment
  • Laser cutting
  • Spraying equipment

Models

The standard table pairs equal X and Y strokes on the coreless CB6/CC8 motor set; the order code also allows mixed strokes, with the lower axis from 100 mm. The LMG2A-S build swaps in iron-core motors and is quoted through HIWIN. Absolute accuracy is stated after error mapping with a HIWIN drive; resolution figures exclude the magnetic scales.

Encoders

Scale options run from 40 µm analog to 20 nm digital; the standard fit is the 1 µm TTL optical scale.

  • A 40 µm analog optical scale — 1 Vpp output
  • B 20 µm analog optical scale — 1 Vpp output
  • D 1 mm analog magnetic scale — 1 Vpp output
  • E TTL digital magnetic scale — 1 µm resolution
  • G TTL digital optical scale, 1 µm — Standard
  • H TTL digital optical scale, 0.5 µm
  • K TTL digital optical scale, 0.1 µm
  • M TTL digital optical scale, 20 nm — Finest listed resolution; for higher, contact HIWIN Mikrosystem
  • P 40 µm glass optical analog scale

Limit switches

Optical NPN switches are the standard fit.

  • 2 Optical switch, NPN — Standard
  • 3 Optical switch, PNP
  • 4 Inductive type, NPN
  • C Customized — Contact HIWIN

Covers

The gantry ships open as standard; three cover styles protect the axes.

  • B Bellows
  • D Non-woven

Cable chains

No chain is the standard configuration; both mounted options share a 15 × 30 mm internal space.

  • 1 Horizontal direction — Chain internal space 15 × 30 mm
  • 2 Vertical direction — Chain internal space 15 × 30 mm
  • C Customized — Contact HIWIN
